Greedy Middle East Oil Pancake Cat Artwork

A portrait of a kitty cat with a pancake on its head-

The cat represents authoritarian leaders in the Middle East who's power is fed by oil wealth. The tab of butter on the pancake represents oil, and is pressuring both east and west, here painted as continents of syrup. The three cat treats are in the shapes of crosses and represent Christianity, the previous power structure which is now scattered upon a dry ocean bed and shall be devoured last. The tongue and mouth are disproportionately large and ill-defined.
